BOKU NO HERO: ANIME AT IT’S PRIME





 I’m not sure if I mentioned this on my blog before but I used to hate boku no hero so bad,I thought it was cheesy and very childish. Well at first glance it certainly looks that way so I do not completely blame ignorant me for thinking so you know?. For those familiar with this anime,I complained about everything from the basic concept of quirks to the complexity of why the students of U.A wanted to be heroes.

When I first started watching it,I dumped it at episode 8 because I did not find it interesting enough and then boom!,one day out of boredom I decided to pick up from episode 8 and damn I could not miss a single scene. Boku no hero is so special because it is that it manages to have the ingredients of Anime like Hunter x Hunter,Naruto,One Piece,e.t.c but it also manages to still be very unique and entertaining.


 It has the potential to run for many many many seasons,I think the story of Midoriya and his classmates training at U.A to become heroes simply resonates with people because it is simple and also imaginative. I think every kid at least had that one hero dream moment. I love the way BNH sheds more light on characters,they don’t drag it till the instead it feels like feeler,instead it actually feels important and gives characters extra layers.


  To me the creator of this anime certainly got inspired by a lot of things for one,Endeavour the second best hero is obviously based of from Fire Lord Ozai I mean they are both abusive fathers of powers who put their sons through so much emotional trauma growing up not only by isolating their wives,but also by forcing their sons into becoming better warriors.



All might the number one hero is the representation of a true hero who on the outside seems untouchable but is actually fragile and even at that,will do whatever it takes to protect people. A lot of heroes can be said to fit this description but to me superman best fits it.


 You also have the Rivalry between Bakugo and Midoriya which I like to call infant Sasuke v Naruto. I call it infant because their rivalry is still in it’s basic stage it isn’t mature yet. Bakugo is still the sasuke who is naturally gifted and often discriminate others and likes being a loner while Midoriya is still the Naruto who will still keep fighting no matter how it gets even if the chances of success are slim and that is because,that is his hero way…..he will do anything to protect his classmates and innocent people.


  I also think Tokoyami the dark shadow bearer is very similar to Neji, in the sense that they are both generally excellent and well focused students who have the potential to be the best but have some inner control issues to work about before they can get to where they want. Okay am getting off track and all but I couldn’t help but gush about this anime that I once hated. I love it so much now that I have the temptation to read the manga due to weekly release of episodes and am hardly ever interested in doing that.

 In summary Boku no hero is a great anime because it has all the ingredients and it uses those ingredients excellently. From its rich characters,great comedy and epic battles….everything about this anime is fun,upbeat and engaging!.



   Sorry for taking a while to post this,I know I talked about making a post covering my opinion on it but I forgot but as I woke up a couple of minutes ago,I got inspired to write all these just because I’ve wanted to for a while now. What do you think? Do you agree with me? Do you like the character comparisons or do you think am exaggerating. Do not be shy, tell me what you think.

First Listen: Hamond - Pirate Radio

  since i heard  windows , i have been sloppy on Hamond.  Pirate Radio  is almost everything i imagine indie pop to be. it's glittery, experimental, vocal, and hard work. half the time, i don't even understand his poetry but it sounds so  damn good . the other half explores experiences of failed/failing relationships, problematic partners, and misplaced gaiety. storytelling like this always gets me into a frenzy, especially with fitting production.  the unconventional mix and production sets this art piece aside from the rest within its genre. especially the drums. nothing cliché with his lyrics or style of music. just pure, honest music that makes me bust some ass to his misfortune. 😀 mehn, it is definitely one of the better listens from 2022. give it a spin?

Why I Love: One Piece

      Last year was quite a hard time for me, it was my final year at the university and for what  felt like the first time in my life, I was truly struggling with school. Not the “oh I’m scared I might not do well” but I was genuinely doing bad. This wasn’t because I wasn’t reading or not putting in the work, it was just because I was given a terrible lecturer as a supervisor. I used to think I had a good relationship with him but during the course of the second semester I began to see a shift in his personality and obvious hate towards me. As someone who struggles with insecurities, I was constantly insulted and ridiculed for no real reasons and even though I knew what he said about me wasn’t true,  I was still hurt. Hurt not just because of how he made me feel bad but hurt because the idea of failing and disappointing my parents and family in general was killing me on the inside and I had no means to express how trapped I felt. You’re probably wondering, “Why...

The Originals: No Always And Forever

   The Spinoff of the vampire diaries has finally ended and after spending 5 years of my life watching it I can only use one sentence to summarize how I felt after seeing it "what the fuck did I just watch"?.                           * MILD  SPOILERS AHEAD* Now,this season has a whole has been bad like...more bad than season 4 but I was like "I'll manage,it's the final season,I need to just be patient with them". I should have opted out long ago,I honestly don't know why Julie Plec(the show runner) is so inconsistent with the universe and bad at ending things. I gave her a pass for shitty The Vampire Diaries ending but this one just vexes me so much.    How can you hunt us with the "always and  forever" quote since the vampire diaries and not let us see it happen. I mean ...what was the point of everything?. I never liked Hayley but when they killed her earlier this season,par...

Ant-man and The Wasp(2018)

  For me,one of the MCU films that stands out and is genuinely funny is the first Ant-man. So when I heard about the sequel I was happy,Ant-man didn't try to be a masterpiece or anything it was just a relatable superhero movie that had very cool characters and a wannabe Obadiah Stane villain.   I like checking out reviews of movies before I see them and also like getting in depth analysis from my favorite youtubers like Jeremy Jahns just so I can have an idea of what am going into. And so from what reviewers were saying it seemed like this was a bad movie and that it was pointless one YouTube reviewer who I love even went on to sat Michelle Pfeiffer was confused and didn't know what she was doing in the damn film. Fast forward to me seeing the film,I finally got to make an opinion of my own and kind of see where some reasonable people were coming from. I mean there's a lot of confusing stuff here that doesn't hold up with the continuity such as Ghost's b...
